Summary

Eighteen essays by leading scholars in English, speech communication, educashy;tion, and philosophy explore the vitality of the classical rhetorical tradition and its influence on both contemporary disshy;course studies and the teaching of writing. Some of the essays investigate theshy;oretical and historical issues. Others show the bearing of classical rhetoric on contemporary problems in composition, thus blending theory and practice. Comshy;mon to the varied approaches and viewshy;points expressed in this volume is one central theme: the 20th-century revival of rhetoric entails a recovery of the classhy;sical tradition, with its marriage of a rich and fully articulated theory with an equally efficacious practice. A preface demonstrates the contribution of Edshy;ward P. J.Corbett to the 20th-century reshy;vival, and a last chapter includes a biblishy;ography of his works.
